“Curse of Spirituality (Sonnet 2537) Why is it that 90% of modern spiritual population are just newage nutters, what's the point in surpassing religious fundamentalism, if you end up being sucked into superstitions with glitter! Why can't you be spiritual without being superstitious, why can't you be religious without being a fundamentalist - the day you could, that's the beginning of civilized spirituality and human religion. I'm not asking for cold, cantankerous logic all the time, all I'm saying is, why does spirituality have to depend on superstition - if your spirituality crumbles without superstition, you were never spiritual, just underdeveloped. There is no spirituality except kindness, there is no religion but service.” — Abhijit Naskar
